It's been a few days and everyone is at the bonfire. Everything is going as it should when Treasa gives you a dirty look.

“I want to be a runner.” you tell Newt.

“No, it's too dangerous.”

“But I'm fast!”

“No, remember what happened last time?” He asks you.

“Yes, but that was probably very rare.”

“You're not strong enough!” Newt says, raising his voice at you.

Treasa smiles at you and leaves the bonfire. You can tell that Newt is not himself. You are also not yourself. The argument almost feels controlled.

“Yes I AM!” you yell back.

“NO YOUR NOT YOUR JUST A WEAK LITTLE KID WHO NEEDS MY HELP FOR EVERYTHING!”

“YOU'RE SO ANNOYING HOW COULD I EVEN DATE YOU? (LET ALONE HAVE SEX WITH YOU!)”

Gladers start to look wondering what is happening. They let you be, knowing they shouldn't get involved.

“I HATE YOU SO MUCH I WISH YOU NEVER CAME UP IN THE BOX! AND HONESTLY I WISH YOU DIED WHEN YOU FELL IN THE BOX!” Newt yells at you.

“I WISH YOU JUMPED THAT DAY!”

“I'M GOING TO BURN THAT BOOK WITH ALL THE NICE THINGS ABOUT YOU, YOUR A WORTHLESS PIECE OF SHIT! I HOPE YOU KNOW THAT!”

“YOU KNOW WHAT? WE'RE DONE!” you scream at him.

You storm off into your hut. You take all of your belongings with you and go to a hammock beside the lake. You don't feel sad, you feel happy that you broke up. You want to prove you can be a runner.
